Thread: Best Advice you have ever received

"Do not worry about tomorrow; it will have enough worries of its own. There is no need to add to the troubles each day brings."

Matthew 6:34

Now that is some great advice right there.

If you want something repeated constructively, tell whoever you are talking to not to repeat it. If you don't want something repeated, don't say it in the first place.

I have two for the technology age:

"Never write something in a private email that you wouldn't want tacked onto the company bulletin board." --my boss at my first "white collar" job

"For God's sake, be careful of the 'Reply All' button!"--Me. Don't ask.

Mine a friend long ago said this was a way to look at life..

I have always found that it is MUCH deeper than it first appears.

Your friend must have seen Repo Man

From my dad (R.I.P.)

"Be careful of the toes you step on today, because they may be connected to the ass you have to kiss tomorrow".

Great advice, but I'm only halfway good at following it.

One that has served me well over the last 10 years...

"A watched pot never boils, an unwatched pot boils over."

Anyone who brews beer knows this one very well

Hmm, I don't think I have been alive long enough to get any real good ones but one I like is..."If you always do what you always did, you always get what you always got"...My English teacher in summer school told me this, and said he saw it written in the stall at a mcdonalds...it got me through summer school and kept me from going back to it. Hell of a place to get advice from....

My foreman always shows up on friday right before I leave wanting me to do stuff he knew about all day, so I tell him.

I dont start nothin new after two and
I dont get dirty after two thirty

The onlything better than beer is free beer. DAD

When I was a kid, I used to love watching the old black and white films of the Barnstorming Bi-Plane Pilots. The real treat was watching the Wingwalkers.
Several years ago I ran upon THE FIRST LAW OF WINGWALKING.

"Never let go of what you got, until you got hold of something else."

After I got a Computer, I searched the Internet for the other Laws of Wingwalking. There are no others.

"don't fart in the shower, especially if it is fully enclosed!" me, today.
